Good breakfast (cakes, rolls, cereals,sliced cheese and prosciutto). Easy walk from the train station, and all the sites. Near the Mercato Centrale for an affordable lunch. Right across the street from a bus stop (which could be a little noisy during the day, but quiet at night). Really enjoyed our stay here!

The WiFi did not get up to the second floor. They even brought a modem that did not do much. Given the need for connectivity I was not happy.
The bathroom was spacious but had no counter space. The bedroom reminded of a convent residence with high ceilings and fluorescent like lighting.
All in all the location was great and breakfast was very good. They could do with a little painting and updating.

Hotel was located within 8 min walking distance of SM Novella train station, however this put it a little far from most sites of interest. We loved the walk but some may not. Florence is a city that is easily walkable. Hotel staff was efficient but not overly friendly. This is Italy. Great value for spacious room. Great breakfast included.Busy street, but ear plugs took care of outside noise. Elevator.

We chose this hotel because of the highly reviewed staff. We found the room was very clean and the breakfast acceptable but too crowded to move. We were disappointed in the staff and found them minimally accommodating. I felt it was over priced for what it was, equivalent to a motel 6 in the states. In fact, the additional 25 euros they charged me per day for my car was about what I felt like the room was worth.

I stayed with my famiy of 6 adults for 3 days in Florence. The hotel was clean and conveniently located. Breakfast was good and included in the price. For the price we paid, this hotel was an excellent value. I recommend it. The outdoor courtyard was the perfect way to relax with a glass of wine after a hectic day of touring. The only issue we had is the noise level. The first day we arrived, the AC was broken in our room, which wasn't a big issue because it wasn't very hot. The Piazza below is VERY LOUD. There was a large group on most nights yelling until after midnight (it's not a bar or cafe, so I'm still not sure what they were doing besides hanging out). The night manager gave us a fan for our room so we could close the window and block out the noise, which seemed to solve the problem.

The Hotel Reception staff are excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Ask for a room with a view at the back of the hotel looking towards the Duomo. The rooms are fine apart from the soundproofing. We took a taxi from the airport, (fixed price €20) rather than navigating the narrow streets from the station, especially with suitcases. The local street market beside the Mercato Centrale is well worth visiting and try to negotiate over prices! There are some excellent, good value restaurants within 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Walking to the centre is easy and we will certainly stay at this hotel on our next trip to Florence.

Excellent hotel, very nice people, very helpful,spectacular bathroom, it even has a hydro,deliciuos breakfast, it could include some fresh fruit instead of tinned fruit salad( as in most hotels ).Anyway you can buy fresh fruit in the street markets all over Europe.Very well located, opposite a park( Piazza Independencia) with a view of the mountains!!!!!!!!!!Relaxing. Near every place you would like to visit and near the centrsl station as well, where you can catch a bus to go to Piazza Michelangelo in the evening to see Florence at twilight.AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.If you go to Florence don´t miss the chance to visit Pisa, you won´t regret it. You can catch a train at the station too.It´s only one hour long.I definitely recommend Florence and Caravaggio.You can do both( Florence and Pisa) in two full days and two nights.

This was my first vist to Florence and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We could not have experienced a friendlier or more helpful greeting and the ongoing help provided by the staff was fantastic.
We were shown how to access all the landmarks within walking distance from the motel and how to get there with little hassel. The recommendation for the restaurant for our evening proved to be one of the best meals on the holiday. I would definitely stay there again and I would certainly recomment it to others visiting Florence

Good value, however the shower had black mold growing in the corners. While the hotel is close to the train station, it is not 200 meters away. probably 1/2 kilometer, which makes dragging your luggage in 95 degree weather a chore, especially with narrow sidewalks. Overall a pleasant stay, and a friendly staff, with better than expected breakfast.
